Win a 2007 customized Honda Civic Hybrid.

Civic Tour 2007.

http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/data/2/Fall_Out_Boy_-_HCH-II_Front_Side.jpg
Honda/Fall Out Boy - Feb. 13, 2007

Looking for a new ride? Imagine yourself in this 2007 Civic Hybrid that's been customized by Fall Out Boy. Well, your fantasy just might come true because we're giving this one-of-a-kind car away. This Civic Hybrid features a state-of-the-art 1000-watt audio system with two Type-S 10-inch subwoofers from Alpine® electronics, RideTones® sound effects, an "eco-friendly" interior with black hemp and vinyl seats, XM® Satellite Radio, 18-inch Konig® "Sideways" lightweight wheels, Dunlop® Direzza™ DZ101 tires, Eibach springs, a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System,™ and the exterior even sports a touch of Van Gogh. To enter the sweepstakes, you must be a legal U.S. resident, 18 years of age or older by July 31, 2007. The sweepstakes runs from Feb. 10, 2007 - July 31, 2007. And there's no purchase necessary to enter or win. (Don't worry, your personal information is safe with us. We promise not to share it with anyone else.)

Official Rules


http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/data/2/Fall_Out_Boy_-_HCH-II_Side.jpg
Custom Paint
The exterior of the car features a Shop Smart Auto Body Supply custom metallic-black paint, with gunmetal Tarot and star graphics custom-designed by Fall Out Boy, coated with a flaked sheen of DPI Clearcoat. A silver Fall Out Boy logo embellishes the hood along with a quote from Van Gogh ("Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all."), and each band member's autograph can be found on the vehicle. Other custom graphics include the Overcast Kids umbrella shielding the front bumper from falling stars, the Clandestine Industries bat logo soaring through the night on the roof and the Honda Civic Tour logo adorning the rear bumper.

Custom Exterior
The exterior of the car features upgraded aero parts from HFP (Honda Factory Performance), which include a lower front spoiler, larger side skirts and a lower rear spoiler. A chrome exhaust finisher from HFP accents the new rear spoiler and the rear of the car features tinted brake lights as well as custom-tinted chrome badges.

Interior Customization
The custom "eco-friendly" interior features customized black hemp and vinyl seats with silver stitching, and headrests embroidered with the Clandestine Industries bat logo. Hemp was also utilized in the door panels, carpet, headliner and visors. The custom-painted door panels and dash encircle the interior in stars, which match the custom exterior paint. A custom-installed Audix D6 microphone acts as the gear shifter to get you rolling. Opening the trunk, you will find all the necessary Meguiars professional car care products to always keep the stars shining bright inside and out.

Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System
If music moves you, get ready to roll. The Honda Civic Hybrid pulsates with sound emanating from a touch-screen AM/FM/XM*/CD audio system with WMA and MP3 capability, digital audio-card reader that lets you play digital music straight from your memory card, and speed-sensitive volume control (SVC). The navigation system features voice recognition and the complete audio system can be controlled from the steering wheel-mounted controls.

Alpine Electronics
Alpine® Electronics has supplied a state-of-the-art mobile audio system for the Honda Civic Hybrid. Providing bass to the 1000-watt system are two Type-S 10-inch subwoofers, powered by two V-Power amps. Two pairs of Type-S speakers, mounted in the doors and the rear deck of the car, offer crystal clear sound reproduction.

XM Satellite Radio
The Hybrid comes equipped with XM® Satellite Radio, America's number-one satellite radio service with more than 5 million subscribers. Broadcasting live daily, XM's 2007 lineup includes more than 150 digital channels of choice from coast to coast: 67 commercial-free music channels, featuring hip hop to opera, classical to country, bluegrass to blues; 65 channels of premier sports, talk, comedy, children's and entertainment programming; and 21 channels of the most advanced traffic and weather information.

Konig Wheels
The Hybrid hits the pavement with racing inspired, black 18-inch Konig® "Sideways" lightweight wheels.

Dunlop Tires
For the ultimate in performance driving, Dunlop® Direzza™ DZ101 tires help to command higher sports driving capability with minimized trade-offs. The new tread compound formulated for the Direzza DZ101 grabs the pavement so you can bank on ultimate vehicle performance.

Eibach Springs
The number-one choice of motorsports champions and automotive enthusiasts worldwide, Eibach®Sportline is the extreme-performance spring set created for the extreme enthusiast—the one who craves a race-car attitude for maximum street performance—with the lowest possible drop, but with the exceptional ride quality you expect from Eibach. Made of the world´s finest Hi-Ten spring steel, and produced to exceedingly precise tolerances, the lowering springs allow the Civic Hybrid to drop 1.4 inches in the front and rear, which lowers the vehicle center of gravity properly while maintaining adequate suspension travel to meet the demands of the enthusiasts.

Ride Tones
RideTones® is an audio system that adds customized sound effects to your vehicle. RideTones is the first audio device that allows you to personalize your vehicle by downloading externally played audio content similar to the popular concept used in cellular phone ringtones. Download popular music, sound FX, or custom tones from our tones library, and assign each tone to a different vehicle function: lock, unlock, trunk release and more! RideTones makes your ride an extension of your personality, style and taste!

Completing the system is Alpine's award-winning satellite-linked NVE-N872A navigation system, which provides turn-by-turn voice guidance to addresses in the continental U.S. The system is Satellite Traffic Ready, utilizing your choice of XM NavTraffic or Sirius Traffic services, and comes with a Zagat restaurant rating guide.

*XM® Satellite Radio requires XM subscription, available at xmradio.com. Trial subscription provided free for first three months. All fees and programming subject to change. XMReady® audio system requires additional hardware, installation and XM subscription, all available at extra costs. See your dealer for details. XM service only available in the 48 contiguous United States. The XM name and XM Ready are registered trademarks of XM Satellite Radio Inc.

Re: Win a 2007 customized Honda Civic Hybrid.

All that added weight and additional battery power required to power a 1000W audio system kind of defeats the purpose.
